Oh Mark,
I have been at such a loss for words since your reinjures over the summer. In so many ways you are a beam of light for so many of us here…consistent and dependable…it was with a punch in my guts that I read of your new pain.
Dear friend….I ache with you. Thank God for the relief of pain and sleep from medications. My experience is that while I can sleep thru pain or watch TV or Sit still so I can skip a med….my body is still fighting the pain and it takes its toll anyway. The pain changes my mind…I make wrong decisions….I cry and isolate.
I bless my Loritab…I honor its effects and respect its potency….I am grateful.
Mark…when our lives changed in the MVA…it was not our day to die….please give yourself relief….allow comfort…let go…let others…sit in nature….just for a bit till you get a grip again….give yourself the gifts you so easily give to all of us…
Surrounding you in the prayers and thoughts of all of us as you travel this new challenge.
Johanna
